In few people, this pain may be referred and perceived as occurring in the back of head, shoulders, arms or chest, rather than just the
neck. Other symptoms may include vertigo,
nausea (dizziness)
and stiffness can be intermittent. It will be best that you consult a neurologist who would like to prescribe Pain killers, steroid and muscle relaxants. Other treatments could be cervical orthosis such as a soft cervical collar/stiffer neck brace to restrict neck movement.
